About
Stevenson Elementary School librarian, KE Hones, will bring in local Chinese American author, Millie Lee to speak to all fourth- and fifth-grade classes about her books on the Chinese American experience in the United States and the San Francisco Bay Area. Fourth- and fifth-grade students will plan and coordinate the visit by writing bilingual information for families and local press releases, planning pre- and post-author-visit activities and researching immigration and Chinese American history. The ethnic makeup of Stevenson includes more then 63 percent Chinese students.
